MADISON (WKOW) -- A coalition of 70 tea party groups across the state has issued a statement saying they have not endorsed any candidates for office.

Many of candidates for office that have spoken at Tea Party rallies have aligned themselves with the group, but none have been endorsed according to a statement released on Wednesday by the coalition that says they have not aligned themselves with any political party.

At this point, only Republican candidates for Senate, governor, congress and other offices have appeared at tea party rallies and a convention early this year and Democrats have not.
